Fw: Which HA standard to use for first home?

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Duncan





I've now got Comfort connected to my main CBUS network, and some old X10
(which shall soon be retired), and now I also have ZWave.





Comfort has CBUS and ZWave UCM's to control them centrally. I dont use CBUS
logic at all.





Happy to talk offline if you're interested in any of these.

The prices on your blog seem high - you'll prob find you can get them for
almost half that price.





Hi




I've been following HA things on and off for a few years, and finally


getting my first home, so am researching more thoroughly now.  I've


written a blog post about the different standards I could find and


have settled on ZWave for the moment.




What I'm looking for is some feedback on my blog post, as it details


pretty much all my thoughts of the different standards and I'd like to


know if I'm way off or if there's some options I haven't looked into yet.

I'm planning on documenting my whole journey and since the software


I've seen so far is pretty rubbish-looking I may end up writing my


own, which would be Open Source (so far I don't understand xPL well


enough to contribute).




Thanks


Duncan
